what to do

[ray hampton]

I use oxygen at night and now my nose are sore for the second time this month, thought about using p jelly but internet warn about using jelly and oxygen , is this a new disease or am I the only one that are suffering with a big nose

Call your 02 vendor. They should have an answer.

they are close for tonight , maybe that I will stop tomorrow before I do the store trip since the o2 shop are close to meat store

Is you house humidity very low? Maybe start making big pots of soup and just letting them simmer with the lid off. Or a humidifier would be OK, but not as tasty.

I'd ask your doctor though, maybe it's more complex.

soup sound good and it will increase the humidity

[Joe Angrisani]

I'm not sure soup will have much of an affect on your house's humidity.

Does your oxygen machine have a water bottle where your tube attaches? My dad doesn't need one in humid Florida, but ALWAYS needs one when visiting me in dry Colorado. Ask your oxygen vendor.

What has the local humidity been in Ky. lately?
Has it been dry outdoors?

a pot of soup on the stove will increase the humidity

Over the pot of soup, perhaps. Not on your pillow in the middle of the night.

Since you skipped the question, I'll try again: Does your oxygen machine have a water bottle (at the machine) where your tube attaches?

[David Weaver]

beeswax and mineral oil mixed. I'd bet that would do it.

I did not intend to skipped your question, my machine do not use a water bottle

Any grease or oil plus O2 under high pressure equals big bang. Probably OK with low pressure, but check with your supplier. I suspect they will say no, just because if you have it on your fingers when you change bottles, it could be a problem.

Joe has the proper answer. My aunt in AZ needed the water bottle too.

If I am able Monday I will drop in to my O2 supply and ask about a water bottle

[Ted Calver]

If it's just the petroleum that is the problem. Ayr makes a saline nasal gel that works for me.

[john flynn657]

petroleum jelly works!

[Sean Troy]

Check with your local pharmacist. Most likely your best help and can direct you to a product.

[Allan Ferguson]

Do not use petroleum products with O2, use water based product. If possible get a humidifier attached to you O2 unit. Retired RN.
